I discovered Chick at the age of sixteen in the late seventies. A true Legend and one of the greatest musicians ever to walk the Earth. Your music lives on and your legacy.
Chick was like a sprite or a muse; a focal point through which musical ideas flowed. And because of that, he didn't seem to take himself too seriously. The music came to him and through him, and brought joy, beauty, and sometimes even humor to all who listened. It's almost unthinkable what the world would have been without this bright star. I know he added immensely to mine. Thank you for all the wonderful music. RIP, Chick.
I "discovered" Chick in the 70's and one of the greatest regrets in my life is that I never had the opportunity to witness a live Corea session! But I am quite contented and amazed by his numerous recordings. Long live the legacy!
Dios bendiga la memoria de Chick Corea. Los que amamos el jazz de alto nivel le extrañaremos siempre. Gracias por el talento, el virtuosismo, la creatividad y la sencillez demostrada en vida. Su legado musical es eterno.
Devastating... from out of nowhere... totally shocked.. was true definition of class .. and beyond fantastic person and muscian..... set the bar for excellence... very high... R I P
I was lucky to catch Chick Corea's concert i the Tokyo Amphitheatre July 1986. Was attending a 6-week course in Japan, Look East Policy in Malaysia. Memories Chick playing a guitar-shaped piano strapped over shoulder, playing his beautiful composition Spain, the volume of speakers rendering such great sound in the amphitheatre.
Casi se toca el concierto de Aranjuez completo! Spain mítica versioneada por todos los estilos del jazz y no jazz. Que descanse en paz. Tuve la suerte de verle en el festival de Jazz de San Javier hace poco,algo me decía que no debía perdérmelo y así fue
One of the most beautiful outdoor venues, La Plaza de la Trinidad/The Trinidad Square, in Donostia/San Sebastian, ever to attend a concert, and if the artist playing is such a virtuoso as Mr. Corea is, even better. RIP Mr. Armando "Chick" Corea. Thank you for posting.
Holy smokes, this is fire!! I saw Chick Corea in Mesa, AZ with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Such a superb musician and truly kind guy, will forever be missed.
Trio mostruoso! Corea straordinario, versione di Spain più unica che rara... Rimango senza parole... Se n'è andato uno fra i più grandi musicisti del nostro tempo. Suona in paradiso...
¡Qué mazazo para todos los amantes de su música y admiradores de su persona! Gracias por haber existido y haber hecho más rica nuestras vidas. D.E.P. maestro.
